Coherent structures are spatially varying regions which disperse minimally over time and organise motion in non-autonomous systems. This work develops and implements algorithms providing multilayered descriptions of time-dependent systems which are not only useful for locating coherent structures, but also for detecting time windows within which these structures undergo fundamental structural changes, such as merging and splitting events. These algorithms rely on singular value decompositions associated to Ulam type discretisations of transfer operators induced by dynamical systems, and build on recent developments in multiplicative ergodic theory. Furthermore, they allow us to investigate various connections between the evolution of relevant singular value decompositions and dynamical features of the system. The approach is tested on models of periodically and quasi-periodically driven systems, as well as on a geophysical dataset corresponding to the splitting of the Southern Polar Vortex.

Keywords: Numerical ergodic theory, non-autonomous dynamical systems, coherent structures, transfer operators, Ulam's method.

Figure 1. Figures 1a and 1b show almost invariant structures as described by the (evolved) subdominant eigenvector of an Ulam matrix approximation to the transfer operator in the periodically driven double gyre flow, with parameters as in [40]. Figures 1c and 1d show finite-time coherent structures as described by the (evolved) subdominant initial time singular vector of a composition of $ 10 $ Ulam matrices describing the evolution of the transitory double gyre flow introduced by [31]. See [17] for a thorough discussion of both models
